A frontier newspaper printer works at his composing stand, holding a composing stick over a slanted wooden type case, reading glasses pushed up onto his forehead. He wears a leather work apron over a rolled-sleeve shirt, canvas trousers, and boots, with drawers of loose metal type stacked beside the stand on a paved base.

The busy typesetting setup makes him a characterful centerpiece for a print shop, newspaper office, or main-street scene. He fits a diorama of an Old West or industrial-age town, a model railroad depot village, or a wargaming settlement.

Pair him with a press, paper bundles, and townsfolk to build a working print shop.
